can someone lend me a 450 gallon tank but i would tke him if it was closer and had the room
Hey if at any point someone can house this fish better than I can just PM me and if its possible we can work something out
Cousin has a big indoor pond out on the east end of the island. my RTC is being grown out for him but am trying to sell it because I want some more polys and don't want it eating all of them
If you are heading south for a spring break, swing by Naples - I'll take him.
If ur willing to compemsate me for the gas and tolls and $75 store is charging me for the fish etc ill DRIVE it down to florida
I was talking a convenient drop-off (read "zero expense to me" - aren't I special?), not a dedicated trip At least your fish would have a chance to live at a small Public Aquarium. Good luck anyway, bro!
Id be willing to meet u half way. And the store is still going to charge me for the fish. Im willing to take a loss and make the trip for the fish if your willing to make any kind of travel sacrifice.
I commend your love for this fish! This is great!
If he was super rare and expensive, I'd at least consider it, although half-way to NY means ~700 miles, which is still too much. If I had to do it for even a small fraction of fish I handle, I'd go belly up very quickly. What people normally do is drop off their fish and get free admission(s). I may travel some too indeed but that's local driving, no more than 1-2 hours one way. Again, depends on the fish's desirability and rarity. If I had to rescue like a dozen of fish, of course, I'd be motivated to go farther.
BigRich and his sons went from OH to WA for 19 fish. They are my heros for sure: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?359060-Big-Catfish-Need-Homes-FREE!-WA-State
One idea that so far never came to fruition is to see if one can find a kind long-distance trucker who may get it within my range.

you might try putting it on u-ship, seeing if there are any folks going from your area to either texas or NY, either way you'd have a taker.
Thanks, Adam. That's an interesting alternative I didn't know about. http://www.uship.com/ Have you ever got quotes on live fish shipping from them?
